Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1382of 8 August 2022concerning the authorisation of a preparation of Propionibacterium freudenreichii DSM 33189 and Lentilactobacillus buchneri DSM 12856 as a feed additive for all animal species(Text with EEA relevance)THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutritionOJ L 268, 18.10.2003, p. 29., and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,Whereas:(1)Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such an authorisation.(2)In accordance with Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of a preparation of Propionibacterium freudenreichii DSM 33189 and Lentilactobacillus buchneri DSM 12856. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.(3)The application concerns the authorisation of the preparation of Propionibacterium freudenreichii DSM 33189 and Lentilactobacillus buchneri DSM 12856 as a feed additive for all animal species, to be classified in the additive category "technological additives".(4)The European Food Safety Authority ("the Authority") concluded in its opinion of 26 January 2022EFSA Journal 2022;20(2):7151. that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparation of Propionibacterium freudenreichii DSM 33189 and Lentilactobacillus buchneri DSM 12856 does not have an adverse effect on animal health, consumer safety or the environment. It also concluded that the additive is not irritant for eyes and skin but should be considered a respiratory sensitiser and no conclusions could be drawn on the skin sensitisation potential of the additive. Therefore, the Commission considers that appropriate protective measures should be taken to prevent adverse effects on human health, in particular as regards the users of the additive. The Authority also concluded that the preparation concerned has the potential to improve the preservation of nutrients in silage prepared with easy and moderately difficult to ensile material. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additives in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.(5)The assessment of the preparation of Propionibacterium freudenreichii DSM 33189 and Lentilactobacillus buchneri DSM 12856 shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of the preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.(6)The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
